Abstract
The present invention relates to a dispersion compensating fiber for improving a transmission system with it in total chromatic dispersion and dispersion slope in the 1.55 &mgr;m wavelength band. The dispersion compensating fiber according to the present invention is characterized by having the following characteristics for light in the 1.55 &mgr;m wavelength band: chromatic dispersion not less than −40 ps/km/nm and not more than 0 ps/km/nm; dispersion slope not less than −0.5 ps/km/nm2 and not more than −0.1 ps/km/nm2; transmission loss not more than 0.5 dB/km; polarization mode dispersion not more than 0.7 ps.km−½; mode field diameter not less than 4.5 &mgr;m and not more than 6.5 &mgr;m; cut-off wavelength not less than 0.7 &mgr;m and not more than 1.7 &mgr;m in the length of 2 m; and bending loss at the diameter of 20 mm, not more than 100 dB/m. The dispersion compensating fiber is optically connected with a dispersion shifted fiber as a compensated object at a ratio of appropriate lengths, which can improve the system including the dispersion compensating fiber in the total chromatic dispersion and dispersion slope of the system in the 1.55 &mgr;…
